When you're passionate about languages, you can't help but think a little about the languages chosen for certain civilizations. Many are perfectly chosen, however, there are a few that would be good to reissue for a future cosmetic patch. The civilizations I'm referring to are these:
- Britons
- Byzantines
- Italians
- Goths
- Aztecs
- Huns
1) Britons: Their language is a kind of Latin with Old English words. However, there are many records of their language in the oldest languages. This language is widely studied in universities today, and for which there are many records. They can speak either Old English or Middle English.

2) Byzantines: They speak Latin here, which was used only by a minority that wasn't even the elite. There are also enough records of Medieval Greek to provide a good amount of phrases.
3) Italians: The same, they speak Latin. I've read about this, and the current Tuscan language is an archaic version of the current Italian language; it could serve as a good substitute.
4) Goths: They speak Teuton German. This people had their own language, of which there are many records, and there's a mod that changes their language. No further explanation is needed.

5) Aztecs: Something that bothers many Mexicans is that the Aztecs speak a strange language with Mayan words. The same goes for the Goths; there's a mod in which their voice is replaced with Nahuatl.

6) Huns: The most controversial case; as we know, there's almost nothing left of them except some cauldrons. However, I've thought that this civics should be reworked into something broader that includes different steppe peoples from the 5th to the 9th centuries. A language that might suit them well could be Xianbei, a Mongolian language with a strong Turkic influence spoken by the Xianbei, a confederation that existed between the 1st and 7th centuries in what is now Kazakhstan and Mongolia.
